trimming and pruning tree limbs and branches and for cutting 

smaller logs up to recommended 14.5 inch (36.8 cm), not to 

exceed a max. cut of 15.5 in. (39.4 cm) in diameter depending 

on type of wood. All of the wooden objects intended to be cut 

with this chain saw should be no thicker than the guide bar's 

maximum cutting capabilities.

Any other use differing from the above mentioned applications 

poses a serious hazard to the user and may damage both the 

tool and your personal property. Examples of improper use 

include, but are not limited to:

•  Trimming hedges;
•  Carving;
•  Sectioning pallets, crates, and various packing materials;
•  Sectioning furniture or other materials with nails, screws, or 

other metal components;

•  Using the machine to lift, move, or split objects;
•  Using the machine while fastened to fixed supports.

Improper use of the machine will invalidate the warranty, 

relieve the manufacturer from all liabilities. The user will 

consequently be liable for all and any damage or injury to

General Safety 

m

WARNING!

 

When using cordless yard tools, basic 

safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the 

risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including 

 

the following:

Work Area Safety

1.  Keep work area clean and well lit – 

Cluttered or dark 

areas invite accidents.

2.  Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, 

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases 

or dust – Power tools create sparks which may ignite the 

dust or fumes. 

3. 

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a 

power tool – Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electric Safety

1.  Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify 

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with 

earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and 

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2. 

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded 

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and 

refrigerators – 

There is an increased risk of electric shock 

if your body is earthed or grounded.

3.  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions 

– Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of 

electric shock.

4.  Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for 

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep 

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. 

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric 

shock.

5.  When operating a power tool outdoors, use an 

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord 

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

6.  If operating a power tool in a damp location is 

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) 

protected supply. 

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of 

electric shock.
